Decadent atmosphere that takes you back in time to an older night club vibe. The walls were draped in velvet. Food was decent and quite delicious, woth higher end prices. Drinks didn’t quite cut it though. Various table settings with upstairs and downstairs. We went in a Monday night and most of the tables were full, with many more patrons that kept coming. Ambience was a bit loud for conversation. Mixed generational patrons but mostly younger crowd who enjoy dressing up for dinner.

Delicious high tea with excellent service. It may not look like a lot of food but it definitely is. Lovely ambience even in the middle of the lobby. Good music that fit the service. Only thing I’d change would be slightly bigger scones with chantilly cream.
